Black Ship The Seventeenth Book In The Daisy Dalrymple Series

Paperback

Condition: Good

In 1925; the Honourable Daisy Dalrymple Fletcher; her husband; Alec Fletcher (a Scotland Yard Detective) and their new twin infant children inherit and move to a new; larger house on the outskirts of London proper; in a stage of slight disrepair (thanks to an aged; now deceased; uncle). Set in a small circle of houses and a communal garden; it seems a near idyllic setting. That is until a dead body turns up half-hidden under the bushes of the communal garden; rumors of bootleggers; American gangsters; and an international liquor smuggling operation via black ships turn everything upside down. And it's up to Daisy - well; Alec with some help from Daisy - to find out who the dead man is; why he was murdered and who did him in!
